After the apportionment of congressional seats among the States based on census population counts, each State is responsible for establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all other congressional districts in a State as practicable. The 114th Congress is seated from January 2015 to 2017. The boundaries of all other congressional districts are provided to the Census Bureau through the Redistricting Data Program (RDP). The apportionment of seats in the House was based on the 2010 U.S. Census.Selected American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimate data has been added to these Congressional Districts for analysis. |
